Unethical Banner On This Site

[Fox the Clever]

When I visited EQ Traders today (October 18th), I couldn't help but notice a banner on the home page (among other places) from a website titled www.xshard.com. When I investigated, it took me to a website that offered the sale of EverQuest 2 platinum, World of Warcraft gold, and many other dubious transactions for real life cash. I've also noticed another one named [url]www.themmorpgexchange.com (which seems to appear at random in the Google ads section) which offers similar things as www.xshard.com.

Is advertising of this sort of thing now allowed on this website, or did this just sneak in under the radar? I guess I'll find out soon enough. Anyway, I'm just bringing it to your attention, and please forgive me if I posted this notice in the wrong forum.

Take care!

See Change is in the Air thread for the squishing of such banners. Seems the plat sellers just plain don't give up, but every time a new one pops up in the advert bar, Denmum, the House Ogre, or one of the dedicated moderators here terminates the link with extreme prejudice (and a giant mallet ). It's like a game of whack-a-mole cranked up to 11 on the dial, some days they just can't squish fast enough.
